I live in downtown Manchester NH. When I first moved back to Manchester, I heard the nighthawks call every evening in the spring and summer from about 1998 through about 2002. I sadly missed their call for the past few years and felt a great loss. While watching night time concerts at the park, I would hear them and watch them swooping to catch their dinner. Spectacular. I though that the increase of planes that fly over the city and the increase noise level in Manchester had been their demise. Or what I heard was that there was a falcon in the downtown area, who might be their enemy? Is anything being done in Manchester?
